Dr.
Joachim Fischer
Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt
Abbestrasse 2-12
10587 Berlin
Germany
Joachim Fischer attended
the University of Stuttgart, Germany and obtained the M. S. degree in
physics in 1981 and the Ph.D. degree in physics at the Technical University
of Berlin, Germany in 1985. Since 1882 he has been with the Physikalisch-Technische
Bundesanstalt in Berlin. He first worked at the laboratory of synchrotron
radiation at the electron storage ring BESSY on laser produced plasmas
as radiometric transfer standards.
In 1986 he joined
the section temperature radiation of PTB. He was responsible for realisation
and dissemination of the International Temperature Scale using optical
methods and for the PTB scale of spectral radiance. His work has been
devoted to radiation thermometry through the development of absolute cryogenic
radiometry and the determination of thermodynamic temperatures using advanced
blackbody sources. Other major projects included remote sensing and thermography.
Since 2001 he is heading
the department Temperature of PTB. In the four working groups of the department
with about 20 staff members the temperature scales PLTS-2000 and ITS-90
are maintained, developed and disseminated to the user by contact thermometry.
The applied temperatures range from the millikelvin region to more than
2000 °C. In current projects he is involved in the improvement of
the fixed points of the ITS-90 and in research on a new definition of
the SI-base unit kelvin by fixing the value of the Boltzmann constant
employing gas thermometry. Since 2001 he is representing PTB in the Consultative
Committee for Thermometry and was elected to chair the working group on
radiation thermometry.
